I always figured it was more akin to the island of Sri Lanka or Serendip, which had many names. Others contend it was a fictionalized Tuvalu with a dash of Tonga.

Queena-Kootah: Treasure Island
Small fictional Sultanate off the coast of The Philippines, the new Sultan of which is Mr. Foot. In the current time of Cryptonomicon our protagonists know the Sultanate as Kinakuta.
Kinakuta is more accurately a fictional island realm that is organized like Brunei is. It's a small island found between the northernmost point of Borneo & the skinny Philippine island known as Palawan.
It has been confused with Malabar, the domain of Queen Kottakal, which is located on the southern coast of India.
